--- Comment #8 from Eric Gallager <egall at gwmail dot gwu.edu> ---
Turns out there's actually an entire Wikipedia article on this issue:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_vexing_parse
It mentions that Scott Meyers talks about it in his "Effective STL" book, so
maybe if GCC adds a -Wvexing-parse option, it could have it be automatically
enabled by the -Weffc++ option.
